Available at: shorturl.at/bxB05 This video will cover the difference between BPD traits and BPD. I think this is important for people to know so they can build knowledge into themselves or their loved ones. There are 9 criteria and you must have 5 or more to qualify for the diagnosis. All 5 of these must be moderate, severe, or extreme in severity. If you only have 4 or less, that’s traits and not the disorder according to the criteria. Remember, this video is not for you to diagnose yourself. You must go to a mental health professional for that. Understanding symptoms is one thing, but a diagnosis is something else, which can help you seek treatment so you can manage and control these symptoms that are causing you problems. You may get confused as I go through this, and that’s normal, because diagnosis is not cut and dry or an is or isn’t kinda thing. There are many factors that go into a diagnosis and PDs are particularly complicated. The nine criteria for assessing Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) covers a range of aspects, such as fear of abandonment, unstable self-image, self-destructive behavior, suicidal tendencies, intense emotional reactions, feelings of emptiness, disproportionate anger, and paranoid thoughts about others. Each criterion is evaluated on a scale of mild, moderate, severe, or extreme, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding and diagnosing BPD. Daniel J.
